This change clarifies the short built-in documentation for
sys.getsizeof().The full documentation already explains that
getsizeof()calls__sizeof__()and may add additional overhead (e.g., for the garbage collector). However, this distinction is not visible from the short help output (help()/pydoc).This change adds a short clarification to reduce potential confusion.
This is a documentation-only change and does not affect runtime behavior. No NEWS entry is needed.
